Woof that was on the verge of being a disastrous stubborn decision by Lando. Pulled it out with that last sector as the middle one was very average. Lucky 🍀

Both cars are in Q3 and this will be the times that will count. It is Verstappen vs Mclarens and we got to find a way to get the last lap. The car seems to like these mixed conditions and we need to get the maximum out of it.

I wish it would rain. I think that the wetter it is, better for us.

Remains to be seen. Yesterday it was dry and the car seemed to be good in P2.

I think in general it is better if it rains yes but with it comes more variability in the race. All depends on start positions

In the dry pole position looked likely. Not so sure in the wet.

How not? Was the lap deleted?

I mean if it rains now, no one will be able to overtake their time and they get 1-2.

It's dry time it seems. Let's hope the car has enough speed to take the fight to Verstappen and be in front of the rest.

Two cars in Top 5 would be a great result even though I am obviously hoping for more.

I am actually hoping for both cars in top 4 and it would be good if its also pole. We need To gain as many points as possible and since the car is competitive in top here we have to get the most out of it.

The time of judgement has arrived. All dry full power and let's give it all.
